“Historical turn”. Trump wants to avoid embarrassment. This is how he begins his political offensive
However, the medals of honor and thanks were just a nice addition with which the US president diversified his rhetorical main course. It read: Americans can finally afford it again living in the greatest country in the world.
An important moment for Republicans
“Affordability” is the magic word in a year of important midterm elections in which Republicans are close to losing at least one of the two chambers. For Trump, this would most likely mean a new impeachment procedure: a disgrace that he would understandably want to avoid.
Trump made more slogans “everything will be cheaper” — in the style of the leftist mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, with whom the US president, as he himself claims, “talks often on the phone.” Egg prices have fallen, gasoline will be cheaper and speculation on drug prices will become a thing of the past. Thanks to the “Trump Accounts”, thanks to which each newborn child (born between 2025 and 2028) will receive PLN 1,000. hole. (at the current exchange rate PLN 3.5 thousand) from the state budget to an investment account and will gain access to it at the age of 18, America will create a new generation of prosperity.

List of safe topics
By his standards, the most powerful man in the world remained surprisingly friendly, and there was an occasional spark of self-irony between his long statements about the situation in the US. For example, when he told the assembled Congress that he would gladly award himself the country's highest civilian award, the Medal of Freedom, but unfortunately this is not possible by law.
The rest of the world played only a secondary role in Trump's record-breaking speech. The US is in talks with Iran, Russia and Ukraine. Trump mentioned the Chinese only in the context of Beijing's missile defense systems, which completely failed during the US attack on Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
The impression remains of a man who realizes the importance of the upcoming by-elections. Trump convinced his party to adopt a “America Must Become More Affordable” course. Democrats will have to do more than just keep quiet if they want to wrest power from the president.
